copper pennies

We had a small science experiment the other day. We took copper-oxide off of pennies!
We took lemon juice and salt and put our old pennies in it and they came out the most beautiful shiny pennies. We even did some pennies half and half to see the difference. Dawson is keeping one of those in his wallet to show people.
We have made a really cute lap book this week with a bunch of french words and art in it but I don't have batteries for my camera, so I can't post a picture. I will have to get some on here later.
We had some interesting vocabulary words this week:
vagabond
retired
protegee
boardinghouse

They even tried juggling . Dawson was getting pretty good at it too!
